'TO A'LL. WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Beit known that we, D. B. NELSON and MORGAN DYER, ofthe city of Elmira, in the county of Chemupg, and State of New York, -havednvented certain new'and useful Improvements in the Method of Constructing i Scrapers; and We do hereby-declare that. the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference'marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, in whichi i Figure 1 is a plan, and

Figure 2 a sectional view of the scraper, and aside view of the beam and its attachment. l

The nature of this invention consists, first, in' the peculiar shape of the scraper, substantially for the purpose hereinafter set forth; second', in providing the scraperwith a movable point; and, third, in the employment of a lever, hinged to the beam, to facilitate the operation of the machine. v

To enable others to derive benefit from our invention, we will explain its mode of construction. l

A represents the scraper, which we form in the shape of a spoon, or in such a manner thatit will rest upon a very small surface at its bottom, the'object of this being to more easily discharge the contents ofthe scraper, when necessary, and' also to lessen draught. B indicates the movable point, which is bolted to the scraper, and is intended to be taken oil` and renewed when occasion requires. C is lthebeam, curved, as shown in fig.

'2, and secured at its inner e'nd to the upper part of the rear sideot the scraper A, and extending outward the whole .length of the said scraper. e c are two braces, secured' at their lower ends to each side of the scraper,

and fastened at their other ends' to the sides ofthe beam C. `These braces serve to strengthen both the beam C and scraperA, thus forming a support for the wholestrncture. D D are the handles,'rivetecl to the beam C beng connected at their outer portions by means of a bar, and made in'the desired way. E represents a lever, curved and hinged to the beam, as indicated iug. 2, and made of 'a suitable length, so that it maybe conveniently operated by the workman. The object of this lever is to .discharge the contents of-the scraper. -F is a clevis, riveted to the outer end of the beam. In said clevis is loosely secured the inner end ofthe swivel f, or any similar device, which isA allowed to freely revolve, and thus preventvthe necessity ot" detaching the while-tree when the scraper is revolved or turned over. l i

Havingthus fully described our invention, whatwe claim as new, and desire to secure 'by Letters Patent, is- The combination ofthe bowl A, movablepoint B, beam 0,'braces c c, and lever E, all'- arranged'pand operated as and for the purpose specified. Y A y In testimony that ive claim the foregoing as our own, we aliix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
